As my Sovereign Self
I am Choosing to walk in
the World with footprints
of Love; leaving a trail of
Light wherever I may go.

Winter Sky
Birds flit wheel dart dive –
alight on bare branches to
observe the onset
of dusk; waxing moon rises
majestic in winter sky.
January Walk By The River
A whir of wings – ducks
in formation circle; break
the water’s surface
with a gentle “whoosh,” cleaving
v-shaped furrows in their wake.

We are each Each Other; We are each of us One.
I am in You and
You are in Me, each of us
expressions of the
Vast Infinite Consciousness
that suffuses – that Is – All.

The Moon and Venus, January 2, 2017.
Bright crescent moon and
Venus ablaze in the sky
emanating light
as dusk gravitates towards
night. A new era is born.
At Twilight in Winter
Sheen of lustrous moon
in a pale blue winter sky.
Twilight lingers as
dusk surrenders to blanket
of white. World steeped in stillness.
Jan 1, 2016
This tanka I composed while walking my dog around midnight on January 1st seems like a beautiful promise of things to come in 2016.
I’d like to share it here, and also take this opportunity to wish you all a year in which light glimmers even in the darkest shadows and you revel in an abundance of such magical moments.
Under the light of
half moon and stars in the deep
chill of winter night,
frost-studded grass glimmers like
quartz – transforms, transmutes, transcends.
Unfurling
Litanies of lack
and limitation stifle,
stunt self-expression.
I choose to honor life, love –
allow my soul’s unfurling.
In This Moment
Just as my worry
rises, threatens to consume…
four sparrows – darting
back and forth, bending boughs at
dusk – remind me all is well.
